Definitly red, my fav colour, or Orange, something bright at the least, but not green.

twinsetandpearls · 09/11/2008 17:20

pretty pashmina in pink/red anna scholz simply be
satin but deep v. Would need to try on really/ Like the belt detail, simply be again
I like this in purple but you would need to be careful of it just hanging from your boobs
nice evening trousers, bottom right hand and I like the neckline and colour of the tunic top. But again tent pitched at boobs warning
I have a dress in this print and it is lovely but maybe not partyish enough
this comes in a number of colurs, deep v and waist definiton so it shouldn' hang from the bust, only £20 from simply be
anna scholz seqiun mesh top but again tent warning
monsoon top up to 18
monsoon lovely colour up to 22

scoop neckline from monsson lovely colour up to 18

Ohhh love the Fushia Monsson, will HAVE to have that!

We have a Wedding on the 5th, Christmas Do at the Rosebowl in Southampton on the 10th, Family dinner in London at posh hotel on the 20th, so need three outfits.

Shoshe · 09/11/2008 17:37

Have already ordered the print floral from Littlewoods, 3 weeks ago and out of stock till 19th of this month, really want it for the wedding, have wide velvet black trousers to go with it, black heels and clutch.

Just praying it arrives on time.

Shoshe · 09/11/2008 17:46

You are very good at this BTW

So if I have the South Print for the wedding, and the Monsoon for the Christmas Do , (with straight black silk trousers)

Just the Family Meal!!!!!!!!

OK one SIL, probably bigger than me, with the personality to go with it (think Dawn French, looks and humour) three years younger than me.

Second SIL 40, looks twenty, size 10, WITH boobs, blonde perfectly dresses even at 8.30 on a Sunday morning!!!!

DDIL 23, size 12 and stunning.

DGD 13, and after a make up session this afternoon, OMG she is beautiful!

Nieces ranging from 16 to 20, four of them youngest spit of me 30 years ago! so will rememebr what I USED to look like!

So Come on T&P, this is the most important!

Oh And there will be various, Fathers, Husbands, Sons, brothers and nephews.

great minds think alike over the floral blouse.

It is amusing me that my talent is shopping, dp would agree with you there.
I think for the meal you need tasteful cleavage.

twinsetandpearls · 09/11/2008 18:09

this is pretty but not rocking it for me colourwise

OP posts:
twinsetandpearls · 09/11/2008 18:12

I am going to buy this for meals out I thought I could store food for later consumption in my cleavage.

twinsetandpearls · 09/11/2008 18:25

satin so comes with usual warnings but great colour. If you have large boobs ruffles can be a no no, Jasper Conran at Debenhams

betty jackson which is cut beautifully but not sure if colour would drain you

getting cake out of oven

Cant wear the South one, ordered it and sent it back, have very narrow shoulders and it kept slipping off.

Love The colour of the magenta one, but not sure on ruffles, might go see if I can try it on.

Dusky pink to blah for me.

Shoshe · 09/11/2008 18:36

love this tho, but what would I wear with it?

Shoshe · 09/11/2008 18:36

Scrap that to small and out of stock.

twinsetandpearls · 09/11/2008 18:44

Next now

There evening wear is a lot better this year IMO
good top of arm coverage looks easy to move in, greet colour but sometimes cowl neck can sit wrong

twinsetandpearls · 09/11/2008 18:46

I liked that kaftan too, saw it in the shop but only had 10s and 12s.

Is this too dark?

OP posts:
twinsetandpearls · 09/11/2008 18:47

OP posts:
twinsetandpearls · 09/11/2008 18:47

there is nothing plain-jane about you

You, your daughter, your house and even your fucking dog are gorgeous

Shoshe · 09/11/2008 18:53

I love the Jasper Conran one, was a bit worried it was to like the South red one I have already ordered, but what the hell, I suit that shape, and it is very pretty, even if it is black.

With the black silk trousers I have would be nice I think.

Thank You T&P, will be calling you my personal shopper from now on.

And we must meet up fro coffee again.

twinsetandpearls · 09/11/2008 18:54

Buda - I have a few size 22 & 24 new items on Ebay at the moment, mainly tops as I haven't got round to listing trousers/jeans yet, but I'd post to Budapest if there was anything you liked - it's just Evans or High Street stuff though, nothing posh. I don't want to link on here though as it's the wrong section so CAT me if you want a link.

EyeballsintheSky · 09/11/2008 20:00

Has anyone else got footballers' legs? I can't wear any skirt/dress that is above ankle length and I am sick of looking like an Edwardian lady!

Lauriefairycake · 09/11/2008 20:18

you can wear them eyeballs, just with a pair of boots that fit from duo- then it just looks like your legs are encased beautifully in leather
